James Harden Reveals The adidas Harden Vol. 11

James Harden has officially revealed the adidas Harden Vol. 11, giving us another look at what’s coming next from his signature line.

This pair comes mostly in white, with bright blue wrapped around the sides and along the bottom of the shoe. The blue has a glossy finish and stands out right away against the cleaner upper.

There’s more blue around the toe, along with a small “UNO” tag near the tongue. White mesh, white laces, and very little extra branding keep the rest of the shoe simple.

The Vol. 11 keeps the same rounded, molded look we’ve seen on recent Harden models, but this colorway feels cleaner than the Solar Purple, Dual Violet, and Frozen Lime pair that surfaced earlier.

The adidas Harden Vol. 11 is expected to release before the end of 2026, around the start of the new NBA season.

Victor Wembanyama’s Nike GT Cut 4 Takes Inspiration From Lady Liberty

Victor Wembanyama’s first signature shoe is coming, though Nike Basketball still has a few more GT Cut 4 releases tied to the Spurs star. The latest is a “Statue of Liberty” PE built around his French background and one of New York’s best-known landmarks.

Mint Foam covers most of the shoe, giving it the weathered green look associated with the statue today. Metallic Gold and copper-colored details point back to the monument’s original finish before oxidation changed its appearance.

The heel reads “You’re Welcome” alongside the French translation, “Vous êtes les bienvenus.” The phrase plays off the idea of Wemby being France’s gift to the NBA, drawing a connection to France gifting the Statue of Liberty to the United States. The monument was presented in the 1880s as a symbol of friendship between the two countries and to honor 100 years of American independence.

Photos surfaced after San Antonio lost to New York in the 2026 NBA Finals, which gave the theme a little more weight. The design does not lean on Knicks colors or heavy graphics. Most of the story comes through the color palette, the language, and the historical connection.

Victor Wembanyama Nike GT Cut 4 “Statue of Liberty” Release Date

The Victor Wembanyama x Nike GT Cut 4 “Statue of Liberty” is expected to release November 5, 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers for $210.

Luffy and Zoro Lead The ONE PIECE x Timberland Collection

Timberland is teaming up with the official ONE PIECE Mugiwara Store for the first time, putting Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper on a limited run of boots and apparel. The collection also celebrates the new Mugiwara Store at Nagoya PARCO, with original artwork created for the release.

The footwear side is led by two versions of the Timberland 6-Inch Premium Waterproof Boot. Luffy’s pair uses the familiar wheat nubuck build, then adds red laces, Straw Hat-inspired branding, and embossed character artwork across the boot. Zoro’s version switches to black, with green laces and details tied to the swordsman.

Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper also appear across a small run of graphic T-shirts. Each shirt combines Timberland branding with new collaborative illustrations made for the release.

The One Piece x Timberland Collection begins rolling out on September 4, 2026. The boots will launch first at Timberland Nagoya PARCO, then arrive at Timberland Boutique Tokyo in Daikanyama and Timberland Sapporo PARCO on September 7.

The T-shirts also release September 4 at Timberland Nagoya PARCO and the ONE PIECE Mugiwara Store Nagoya PARCO. A wider drop follows September 7 at Timberland’s directly operated stores and Mugiwara Store locations across Japan. The Nagoya Mugiwara Store will carry the tees only, not the boots.

Terror Squad x Nike Air Force 1 Low “University Red” Releases September 9th

Fat Joe and Terror Squad are back on the Air Force 1 Low, this time with the red and white pair that showed up last year. The look is pretty much what you’d expect from a Terror Squad AF1: simple color blocking, familiar branding, and no extra fuss.

Red leather covers the mudguard, eyestays, and heel panels, while white leather fills in the toe box and sides. The Swoosh is also white, giving the upper a simple two-color finish without much extra going on.

The sole keeps that same setup. A white midsole is matched with red “AIR” branding near the heel, and the outsole comes in solid red. Terror Squad’s “TS” logo is embroidered on the lateral heel, which is the detail that really connects this release to the older pairs associated with Fat Joe and the crew.

Those early Terror Squad Air Force 1s were never easy to get, and that has always been part of their story. Fat Joe has stayed closely tied to sneakers since then, both through his Nike collaborations and his involvement with UP NYC.

After first surfacing in 2025, the Terror Squad x Nike Air Force 1 Low “University Red” is finally set to release on September 9, 2026 via SNKRS for $150.

Campaign images featuring Fat Joe and his daughter around the Bronx are included below.

Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Yacht Club” Releases September 10th

Vans is bringing back its colorful “Yacht Club” look, this time with the Old Skool 36 Pearlized getting the treatment.

The original “Yacht Club” Old Skool first showed up in 2018 as part of a nautical-themed pack. Its mix of green, yellow, red, and blue made it one of the louder Old Skool releases from that period. Now the same color blocking returns with a much different finish.

Pearls and crystal-like details run along the Jazz Stripe, toe, and heel, giving the shoe the customized look that has become a signature of the Pearlized series. The canvas upper also comes slightly worn-in, while black marks across the white vulcanized midsole make the pair look like it has already seen plenty of wear.

Vans first introduced the Pearlized Old Skool through its 2024 collaboration with Satoshi Nakamoto. Several simpler colorways followed, but the “Yacht Club” will be the first version to bring multiple colors into the Pearlized setup.

The pair was previewed during Vans’ Spring/Summer 2027 showroom at Paris Fashion Week, although it is arriving much sooner than that season suggests.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Yacht Club” releases September 10, 2026. Men’s pairs are priced at $130, while kids’ sizing will be available for $110. Check out the official photos below.

NFL x Nike Air Max 90 “Rivalries” Collection Releases September 1st

Nike and the NFL are keeping the Air Max 90 “Rivalries” series going for the 2026-27 season, with eight more teams getting their own pair.

Detroit, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Green Bay, Minnesota, Houston, Tennessee, and Chicago are next up. The idea is pretty simple: take the Air Max 90, work in each team’s colors, and give fans something they can wear on game day without it feeling like regular team gear.

First looks show the familiar Air Max 90 shape left intact, with the changes coming through the color blocking. Team colors appear across the upper, Swoosh, midsole, and surrounding Air unit panels, giving each pair its own identity without moving too far from the original design.

Several longtime NFL rivalries are represented in the lineup, including teams from both the NFC North and AFC South. That gives the collection a strong connection to the upcoming season while keeping the shoes easy to wear away from the stadium.

The NFL x Nike Air Max 90 “Rivalries” lineup will feature the Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and Chicago Bears.

Look for the NFL x Nike Air Max 90 “Rivalries” collection to release on September 1, 2026. Each pair will be priced at $140 and available through Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Air Max 95 “Greedy” Returns September 8th

The Nike Air Max 95 “Greedy” is making another comeback for Fall 2026. First released in 2015, the colorway mixes pieces of several well-known Air Max 95 looks instead of sticking with one clean setup.

Grey covers most of the shoe, but each side is handled a little differently. The outer panels use the familiar Air Max 95 fade, while the inner side gets darker with more black worked into the layers.

The mismatched details are where the pair really changes from shoe to shoe. Orange and teal show up on the right, while the left brings in neon green and Solar Red. Those colors also land on the tongue branding and the small Swooshes near the ankle.

This time around, the “Greedy” colorway sits on the Big Bubble version of the Air Max 95. The bigger Air unit gives the 2015 design a slightly different look without changing what made the original pair stand out.

Nike Air Max 95 Greedy 2026 Release Date

The Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Greedy” releases September 8, 2026 through SNKRS and select retailers. Men’s sizing will retail for $200.

Caitlin Clark Reveals Nike Caitlin 1 “Friendship Bracelet”

Caitlin Clark’s love for Taylor Swift has already crossed over into her sneaker rotation. After wearing a special “Eras Tour” Nike Kobe 6 PE, Clark is bringing another Swift-inspired idea to her own signature shoe with the Nike Caitlin 1 “Friendship Bracelet.”

The theme comes through most clearly on the laces, which are covered with fuzzy details and colorful charms. Two square beads near the toe spell out Clark’s No. 22, giving the shoe a personal touch without going overboard.

The upper mixes Pearl Pink, Summit White, Metallic Silver, Racer Blue, and other shifting colors across the shoe’s OptiCast build. Its glossy, iridescent finish appears to pull from the sparkling outfits tied to Swift’s Eras Tour, including the look featured on the concert film artwork.

The theme continues inside the shoe, where graphic insoles feature Clark’s double-C logo surrounded by bracelet-style beads. The pair also appears to be one of the colorways teased when Nike first introduced Clark’s upcoming signature line.

Nike Caitlin 1 Friendship Bracelet Release Date

The Nike Caitlin 1 “Friendship Bracelet” is expected to release on February 24, 2027 for $150.

Air Jordan 1 High OG “Royal” 2026 Official Look

UPDATE 8/26/26: The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Royal” returns on October 10, 2026, and Nike has now shared a fresh set of official images. The new photos give us a much clearer look at the upcoming release, but they also stand out for a different reason. Instead of the usual stock-photo setup Nike normally uses, this set has a noticeably different presentation. It is not clear yet if this is a one-time change or something Nike and Jordan Brand plan to use more often.

Original Post 7/21/26:
Official retailer images have finally revealed the 2026 Air Jordan 1 High OG “Royal”, giving us the clearest look yet at the upcoming return.

The original colorway last appeared in 2017, and its next release will stick with the standard High OG shape. That may surprise anyone expecting Jordan Brand to bring every classic Air Jordan 1 back in the more historically accurate ’85 cut. Recent samples displayed at the Michael Jordan Building only added to that belief, but the “Royal” shows the brand is not following one format for every OG colorway.

Based on the photos, the 2026 pair looks close to the version most fans already know. Black leather covers the base, while Varsity Royal lands on the toe box, Swooshes, ankle panels, and heel. The blue sections appear to have a heavier tumbled finish, with leather that may be slightly thicker than what was used in 2017.

Color can be difficult to judge through retailer photography, but the Royal Blue also looks a little brighter in these images. A white midsole and blue rubber outsole complete the familiar blocking.

Air Jordan 1 demand has cooled from its peak, though original colorways still carry more weight than most general releases. The “Royal” remains one of the model’s defining looks, so availability could depend heavily on how many pairs reach stores.

Air Jordan 1 High OG Royal 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Royal” releases October 10, 2026, at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $185.

First Look at the Nike Ja 4 “Halloween”

The Nike Ja 4 is getting a Halloween colorway for October 2026, and this one goes with a dirty green and grey look. Faded graphics cover most of the upper, giving the shoe a worn, almost zombie-like feel.

The upper is covered in ripped and distressed fabric, mixing dirty green, olive, and dark grey shades across most of the shoe. The faded finish gives it an aged look, while matching green carries over to the laces, tongue, lining, and translucent outsole.

Bright orange-red adds the strongest contrast. It shows up on the large Swoosh and the sharp JA support piece along the midsole. Brown sections around the opposite side and heel add another darker tone to the colorway.

The Halloween theme continues underfoot, where the outsole glows green in the dark. Inside, the insole features a colorful Ja Morant screaming face graphic, tying back to the zombie-inspired details seen on past seasonal releases.

Nike Ja 4 Halloween Release Date

The Nike Ja 4 “Halloween” is expected to release in October 2026 through Nike and select retailers. Adult pairs will retail for $145, while grade school sizing will be priced at $125.

Hiroshi Fujiwara Reveals New Fragment x Nike Book 2

Hiroshi Fujiwara is known for sharing Fragment samples and unreleased sneakers, so not everything that shows up on his Instagram ends up in stores. His latest pair is a new Fragment Design x Nike Book 2 colorway that hasn’t been seen before.

The sneaker takes a much lighter approach than the black Fragment x Nike Book 2 that dropped earlier this year. This version pairs a mostly white upper with light tan accents, while pink Swooshes add the strongest hit of color.

Most of the details from the first collaboration remain in place. Fragment keeps the design simple, and the midsole once again features black text reading “The Classic: BOOK 2: Fragment.” The wording and placement appear to match the earlier release.

At this point, there’s no guarantee this colorway will be released. Fujiwara regularly shares samples, alternate versions, and other Fragment projects that never make it past the preview stage.

For now, the white and pink Fragment Design x Nike Book 2 is simply another look at what the two brands have been working on. A release date has yet to be announced.

Yu-Gi-Oh! x Crocs Collection Releases September 2026

Yu-Gi-Oh! and Crocs are linking up for a four-pair collection releasing in September, with Yugi Yami, Seto Kaiba, Dark Magician, and Blue-Eyes White Dragon each getting their own design. The Classic Clog handles the Yugi and Kaiba pairs, while the two monster-inspired releases use the Echo Clog and lean more into molded details.

Yugi Yami’s Classic Clog is the most detailed of the two. Purple covers most of the shoe, with gold, red, and black worked in around the midsole and upper. A chain across the front carries a Millennium Puzzle piece, while the Jibbitz include Yugi and a Duel Disk. Silver hardware and studded strap details finish off the look.

Seto Kaiba’s version goes in another direction with a dark grey upper, blue straps, burgundy lining, and a white section around the midsole. The circular cutouts along the side give it a different profile from Yugi’s pair, and the Jibbitz pull from Kaiba’s side of the series with Blue-Eyes White Dragon, a playing card, the KC logo, and another Duel Disk reference.

Dark Magician gets one of the Echo Clogs, dressed almost entirely in purple. White graphic lines run along the sides, while the straps carry symbols tied to the series. A green staff charm and Dark Magician details across the upper make the reference easy to spot without covering the whole shoe in graphics.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon Echo Clog keeps things lighter with a pale blue build and darker blue straps. Molded extensions around the upper give the pair a sharper shape, while Blue-Eyes charms are worked into the sides. Of the four, it looks the least like a standard Crocs release because of how much of the theme is built directly into the silhouette.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! x Crocs Collection releases September 1, 2026, through Crocs and select retailers in stores and online. All four pairs will be available in unisex sizing. The Classic Clogs are priced at $70, while the Echo Clogs will retail for $90.

Nike Ja 3 Continues With This Team Bank “Midnight Navy” Colorway

The Nike Ja 3 Team Bank “Midnight Navy” keeps things simple with a white and navy setup built around Ja Morant’s third signature shoe. The colorway was part of the Team Bank group Morant previewed earlier, but this pair is showing up after several of the others from the pack.

White mesh makes up most of the upper, with Midnight Navy worked into the raised traction-like pattern that runs across the toe, sides, and heel. The same dark shade appears around the eyelets, while white laces and a white tongue break up the heavier pattern. Ja branding is stitched onto the tongue in navy, with matching logos also appearing on the insoles.

The darker color takes over most of the midsole and outsole, both covered in the model’s repeating textured pattern. Metallic Swooshes sit along the sides, while a cutout near the heel exposes the ZoomX branding underneath. Small “Twelve” and “The One” details are also worked into the heel area.

The Nike Ja 3 Team Bank “Midnight Navy” is expected to release in Fall 2026 through Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retailers. The retail price is set at $125.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone x New Balance Collection Drops September 8th

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has another New Balance collection on the way for Fall 2026, with three shoes covering both sides of her partnership with the brand. There’s an option for everyday wear, another for putting in miles, and a track spike built for competition.

The New Balance 9060R handles the casual side, while the FuelCell Rebel v5 is built for daily miles. McLaughlin-Levrone also worked on the SC MD-X v3, a track spike made for training and race use. It gives the collection a more complete feel without forcing every piece into the same lane.

Apparel is included too, with a small capsule shaped around McLaughlin-Levrone’s personal style. Rather than treating the clothing as an afterthought, New Balance is using it to connect the performance pieces with what she wears away from the track.

The Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone x New Balance Fall 2026 Collection releases September 8, 2026, through New Balance and select retailers in-store and online. All three shoes will be available in unisex sizing. The FuelCell Rebel v5 is priced at $145, the 9060R at $160, and the SC MD-X v3 at $170.

Ric Flair x Ewing Athletics 33 Hi Takes Inspiration From His Iconic Robe

Ric Flair is taking one of his early wrestling looks and putting it on the Ewing Athletics 33 Hi. The collaboration pulls from the teal and beige floral robe Flair wore at Starrcade 1983, a look that also traces back to his first NWA World Heavyweight Championship reign after beating Dusty Rhodes in 1981.

The robe’s floral pattern is carried across the upper instead of being reduced to a simple color reference. Teal and beige make up most of the design, with darker details worked into the print and surrounding panels of Patrick Ewing’s signature high-top.

Flair’s name appears across the heels with “RIC” and “FLAIR” embroidery, while the tongue uses an image of the Nature Boy during his trademark “WOO.” Custom packaging is also included with the release, giving the collaboration another direct link to Flair.

The Ric Flair x Ewing Athletics 33 Hi will release September 5, 2026, at Cool J’s in Miami. Flair is scheduled to appear at the launch, with a wider online release expected to follow.

Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GEL-Kinetic FR Drops September 12th

Coming this September, two new Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GEL-Kinetic FR colorways will join the ongoing collaboration. It’s their sixth collection together, and the shoe still gives Bahnsen plenty to play with. The chunky ASICS shape stays mostly as-is, while floral straps and softer details give it a look that feels much closer to her own work.

The GEL-Kinetic FR pulls from the GEL-Frantic and Kinetic lines, pairing a stacked heel with a much lower forefoot. Floral straps run across the midfoot, while toggle closures replace a more traditional setup. The result still looks like an ASICS runner underneath, just pushed into a much different space.

The silver colorway leans heavily into the Y2K side of the model. Metallic panels cover most of the upper, with pink around the midsole and a light green outsole adding softer color without taking over the shoe.

The brown version feels more grounded. Earthy brown and black patent leather handle most of the upper, while blue-green accents show up around the rear midsole and through the exposed GEL cushioning. Most of that contrast is saved for the heel, where the shape is already at its busiest.

The Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GEL-Kinetic FR Pack releases September 12, 2026 through ASICS and select retailers.
